Hello and welcome to a bonus episode of Truth Be Told. We decided to take a beat

from our series to answer your questions about psychedelic assisted therapy and the use of

psychedelics to help alleviate depression and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Now if you've been along for the journey with us you know that we are exploring

several promising studies that

look at the use of MDMA and other psychedelics to help heal racial trauma.

And if you haven't listened to the first four episodes of season five I highly recommend you go back and listen.

Well in the meantime we are here to answer your questions and I have a co-host joining me

today. Welcome Justin Richmond, the host of the new
